Nikola
Tesla (1856-1943)

Nikola
Tesla (1856-1943) was the genius who lit the world, whose discoveries in the field
of alternating polyphase current electricity advanced the United States
and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era.

Nikola Tesla had 700 patents in the US and Europe. Tesla's
discoveries include the Tesla Coil, fluorescent light,
wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, discovery of
cosmic radio waves and use of ionosphere for scientific purposes.

Nikola Tesla was a New Yorker, who lived and worked in New York City
almost 60 years and died at Hotel New Yorker, in Manhattan, on January
7, 1943.

We here at the Tesla Memorial Society of New York want the world to know of
Tesla. Tesla's impact on our civilization is tremendous, and his
memory should be kept alive.

In 1917, Tesla was awarded the Edison Medal, the most
coveted electrical prize in the United States.

Nikola Tesla's name has been honored with an International Unit
of Magnetic Flux Density called "Tesla".

The United States Postal Service honored Tesla with a commemorative
stamp in 1983.

Tesla was inducted into the Inventor's Hall of Fame in
1975.

The Nikola Tesla Award is one of the most distinguished
honors presented by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. The
award has been given annually since 1976.

The Nikola Tesla Award is presented annually since 1968, at
the Area Power Conference, Duluth, Minnesota. The award is
furnished by Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation.

The Nikola Tesla Statue is located on Goat Island to honor
the man whose inventions were incorporated into the Niagara Falls Power
Station in 1896. Tesla is known as the inventor of the polyphase
alternating current.

The Nikola Tesla Corner Sign located at the intersection of
40th Street and 6th Avenue in Manhattan, is a constant reminder to all
New Yorkers of the greatness of this genius.

Many of the new technologies in the world today, are based on
Tesla's ideas. Tesla spent 50 years of his life to find a way for
interplanetary communications, especially with Mars. He is the
first scientist in the world to use the Ionosphere for scientific
purposes (The Ionosphere is the upper part the atmosphere under constant
bombardment of solar energy, which breaks down molecules into ions
causing an ionized shield of our atmosphere, very important for radio
communications).

Nikola Tesla is a unifying force for the people of the Balkans,
and the people of the previous Austro-Hungary Empire (an area of Europe
devoted to science and progress). Every child in the Balkans knows
about Tesla.

We are asking all Tesla admirers and all governments around the
world to support the idea "Nikola Tesla Year" in the year 2006.

Honoring
the 134th birthday of Nikola Tesla, US Congressmen's speeches:

Above: Tesla sits below the Tesla Coil in his Colorado Spring
Laboratory. The coil creates millions of volts of electricity with
a frequency rate of 100,000 alterations per second.

Tesla Unit

Nikola Tesla's name has been honored with the international unit of
magnetic flux density called "Tesla". All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
machines are calibrated with Tesla Unit (from .2 Tesla to 9 Tesla). MRI
machines work on the principle of a homogeneous magnet field. Nikola
Tesla discovered the Rotating Magnetic Field in Budapest, 1882. The
Tesla Unit for magnetism was established in 1956 in the Rathaus of
Munich, Germany by the International Electrotechnical Commission
Committee in Action.

Because of the tremendous importance of the MRI
technology and widespread use of the MRI machines around the world,
which are all calibrated in Tesla Units, Tesla's name connected with the
MRI will be known more and more in the future and the years to come.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is extremely
important for medical diagnosis of internal organs of the human body,
especially the diagnosis of cancer, tumors, degenerative diseases of the
brain and spinal cord. The modern diagnosis of the internal organs of
the human body would be today unthinkable without MRI. MRI
machines are widespread with many variations in size and capacity
all around the world. The revenue of MRI machines sales was 1.46
billion dollars in 2002. Revenue for MRI machine sales is expected
to increase in the following years.

MRI employs a strong homogeneous magnetic field and
specific radio frequency to which many elements, especially hydrogen
nuclei respond with radio frequency signals. These signals are
analyzed by computer reconstruction algorithms. The healthy tissue
and pathological tissue have different radio frequency signals and
produce different images on MRI. Therefore enable us to make
diagnosis of pathological tissues of the body.

MRI has the advantage over CT scan, it uses no
ionizing radiation and does not cause cumulative harm. The only
contraindication of those related to the high magnetic field.
Magnetic-sensitive objects like pacemakers, watched and magnetic tapes
are contraindicated.

Asteroid - Any of numerous small celestial bodies that
revolve around the sun, with orbits lying chiefly between Mars and Jupiter
and characteristic diameters between a few and several hundred kilometers.
Also called minor planet, planetoid.

The planet "Tesla", named
after the great Nikola Tesla, is listed at the "Minor Planet Center" at the
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Harvard University founded at:

The "Tesla" Planet is #2244, the list is alphabetical, look under
"Tesla". The list was last updated on April 8, 2005.

2. Tesla Crater on the Moon

One of the craters on the moon is named after Nikola Tesla. The
crater is located on the moon at: Latitude 124.7E; Longitude 38.5N and
has a diameter of 43 kilometers. (If these coordinates had been on the
earth, you would be located at the position of Korea, since the zero
meridian is located at Greenwich England. I'll have to check back to see
where the zero meridian is taken for lunar coordinates.)
This information is given at:

The data is given in the format:
Tesla 38.5N 124.7E 43.0
If you click on the word "Tesla" it will take you to a NASA photo of the
backside of the moon, taken from an elevation of 1000 km, looking
directly down on the Tesla crater from above. (Crater "Tesla" is
exactly in the center of this photo.) You can "zoom" in for a closer look
at the actual photo of the Tesla crater by clicking below the photo, but
the photo loses resolution.
